STR going into terminal instead of GUI text box

I am trying to learn how to make a GUI so I decided to practice making a calculator. I have all of the number buttons and the ‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘*’, ‘/’ buttons working. I got stuck at the decimal button. When ever I press the button in the GUI it goes into my terminal instead of the text box.

Here is the code:

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()
root.title("Calculator")

e = Entry(root, width=50, bg="light gray", fg="black", borderwidth=3)
e.grid(row=0, column=0, columnspan=4, padx=10, pady=10)


def button_equal():
    second_number = e.get()
    e.delete(0, END)

    if math == "addition":
        e.insert(0, f_num + int(second_number))

    if math == "subtraction":
        e.insert(0, f_num - int(second_number))

    if math == "multiplication":
        e.insert(0, f_num * int(second_number))

    if math == "division":
        e.insert(0, f_num / int(second_number))


def button_click(number):
    current = e.get()
    e.delete(0, END)
    e.insert(0, str(current) + str(number))


def button_clear():
    e.delete(0, END)


def button_add():
    first_number = e.get()
    global f_num
    global math
    math = "addition"
    f_num = int(first_number)
    e.delete(0, END)


deci = "."


def button_equal():
    second_number = e.get()
    e.delete(0, END)

    if math == "addition":
        e.insert(0, f_num + int(second_number))

    if math == "subtraction":
        e.insert(0, f_num - int(second_number))

    if math == "multiplication":
        e.insert(0, f_num * int(second_number))

    if math == "division":
        e.insert(0, f_num / int(second_number))

    if math == ".":
        e.insert(0, f_num, deci)


def button_subtraction():
    first_number = e.get()
    global f_num
    global math
    math = "subtraction"
    f_num = int(first_number)
    e.delete(0, END)


def button_multiplication():
    first_number = e.get()
    global math
    math = "multiplication"
    f_num = int(first_number)
    e.delete(0, END)


def button_division():
    first_number = e.get()
    global f_num
    global math
    math = "division"
    f_num = int(first_number)
    e.delete(0, END)


def button_decimal():
    first_number = e.get()
    global f_num
    global math
    math = " "
    f_num = int(first_number)
    e.delete(0, END)

button_decimal.grid(row=5, column=2)
button_percent.grid(row=1, column=2)
button_negative.grid(row=1, column=1)

root.mainloop()

Answer

That is beacuse you have coded it in such a way

button_decimal = Button(root, text=".", padx=44, pady=20, bg="light gray", command=lambda: print("."))

See, button_decimal takes a lambda that will print to the console
